B to the Rat

An IM conversation with my littlest sister:

Me: veut-tu un sandwich de merde?

LS: ew, gross! how are you?

Me: what are you up to?

LS: sorry, so distracted. booking flights.

Me: flights?

LS: yeah.

Me: for what? home?

LS: no, around europe.

Me: wait, to where? greece?

LS: no, ew. barcelona.

Me: isn't that like a 10 hour train from Paris?

LS: yeah. but flights are cheap.

Me: no they're not. trains are cheap. that's why students take the train.

LS: well, actually a little more expensive than trains but cheap.

Me: so flights are actually more expensive than the train, yet somehow cheaper?

[two minute pause]

LS: shut up, i'm not sitting on a stupid train.

Me: good to see you're making the most of the personal growth opportunities presented by studying abroad. i thought taking the train around europe is half the fun?

LS: i said, FERME TA BOUCHE!

Me: b to the rat...
